A book you''ll enjoy reading when you need a motivational boost. -- Self-Employment Survival Letter, November 1995

Benjamin Franklin had nothing on Sang H. Kim. Although Kim's latest treasure is similar to Franklin's classic collection of maxims, "Poor Richard's Almanac", his suggestions are more applicable and poignant than 200-year-old recommendations for better living. Kim's book is geared toward businessmen of today, but anyone can benefit from his sage advice. Kim divides the book into 15 chapters each directed towrd subjects such as "How to Motivate your Boss" and tricks to motivate change or productivity. Truly 1001 Ways is worth 1001 dollars, so at this price, it's money well spent - something that would make old Ben proud. -- Beaufort Gazette

Disguised beneath a boring cover is a fun handbook with motivational tips and sayings - in bullet-point format - for motivating yourself, your boss, employees, peers, students or customers, in situations of conflict resolution, creativity, decision making and leadership. Based on the book's message of courage and believing in yourself, it comes as no surprise that Kim is a taekwondo master and motivatinal speaker. This book shows that self-esteem, action, motivation and a "don't mess with me" atttitude can in fact be a part of the Asian American psyche. -- A Magazine: Inside Asian America

Practical strategies for boosting your motivation. -- Bottom Line Business, April 1, 1996

Not at all what I expected. Actully, I should return it. It does not address methods, it only lists sentences. Buy something else

5.0 out of 5 stars A great source of quick pick-me-ups, September 20, 2000

By A Customer

This a great book to pick and flip through when you're feeling down or need a quick injection of motivation in your day. I could also see using if you are a team leader or coach, to come up with motivational sayings to get the people under you fired up. It's packed with lots of ideas I'd never thought of and also many that I already knew but had forgotten. Well worth the money if you are in a field that requires you to be "up" on demand.
